Unwanted guest

From Bisnis Indonesia

On Oct. 25, 1995, at about 12:30 p.m. a mute woman came to our
office unexpectedly. She had short hair and a freckle on her
face, looked smart and carried a handbag. She had a letter
bearing her name: Yantis. The letter said that the woman needed
money for bus fare to Surabaya, East Java. She also had a piece
of paper that was signed by a district head (which district was
not clear) certifying that the woman needed Rp 20,000 for her
journey to Surabaya.

We had never had such a visitor before and we took pity on
her. I collected some money from my colleagues and gave it to
her. Later I checked with security to learn whether they had seen
the woman. I was told that some time ago a similar case occurred.
The receptionist on the other floor also confirmed the incident.
The same woman (but then with long hair) came to the office for
the same purpose.

I believe that someone has used her as a means of collecting
money by cheating people.

Be warned!
